Volume 1 Chapter 225 Inter Milan's counterattack
Martins' arrival in Adriano has been a big help.
Martins is incredibly fast, the meter run is the most important thing for a footballer, Martins' best time is the second RU, and he is the fastest player at Inter. Faster than Chen Yu, Chen Yu's meter run is 3 seconds in 100 meters, Martins is close to 10 seconds, and Chen Yu has just broken LL seconds
Martins' drawbacks are a little less sense of coordination and a lack of finishing skills, but his blistering speed can disrupt Fiorentina's defence and allow Adriano to find space.
Van der Meyde's injury was an accident, Martins' play was also an accident, before the game Florence did not focus on defending Martins, after Martins came on the field, Fiorentina's defensive pressure doubled, they all knew that Martins was fast, but they always couldn't prevent it.
Just two minutes into the game, Cambiaso made a long pass to the penalty area, Fiorentina was offside, Martins started on the same level as Ujfarusi and De Yinelli, and shook to the goal like a bolt of lightning, facing the attacking goalkeeper Lupatelli with a left-footed pick, the ball went over Lupatelli, but also flew off the crossbar.
Although the goal did not go in, the goal boosted the morale of Inter Milan and caused panic in the Fiorentina backline.
Five minutes later, Adriano leaned on Deinelli in the box and knocked the ball, and Ujfarusi thought it would be okay to keep Martins out of the way, but he didn't expect Martins to run from the right back of Ujfarusi to the left, then accelerated, fell to the ground and stabbed the shot, but Martins's shooting was a bit rough, and he poked the ball into the arms of goalkeeper Lupatelli again.
With five minutes left in the first half, Fiorentina had to shrink their defence, not giving Martins room to play with their pace, even if they did not hesitate to reduce their attacking threat, and now they are one goal ahead and are entitled to shrink their opponents' counter-attacks.
Fiorentina's contraction of the defence was detrimental to the midfield, and in order to maintain the balance of the three lines, the midfielders had to retreat, thus almost ceding control of the midfield to Inter.
Inter Milan's defense has been problematic in the last ten rounds, and the defenders almost take turns making mistakes, so that they can't hold the lead, but Inter Milan now has a characteristic, they can't hold the lead, and they can get back when they are behind, their attack is very strong, even if they are fighting individually, they have many opportunities to break through the opponent's goal, so Inter Milan will have so many draws.
Fiorentina contracted their defence, giving up control of the midfield to give Inter Milan a chance to attack, and in the first minute, Martins' steal caused a mistake by the Fiorentina defenders, and the ball was cut off by Adriano, who dunked past DeRicari in the box, carried Oujfarusi, and stabbed the goal with his toes when his body almost lost his center of gravity.
Adriano's strength was not used enough, but the distance was close, goalkeeper Lupatelli's vision was still blocked, and he was not able to make a save at the first time, and by the time he reacted, it was too late, but fortunately Fiorentina was lucky, Adriano's shot hit the post and bounced out.
The frightened Fiorentina immediately launched a counterattack, Maggio and Chen Yu made a clever one-two combination on the wing, Chen Yu cut inside to the middle after hitting the front, and passed the ball to Micoli, who had been actively running, under the opponent's pursuit and interception.
Today's main defense of Mikoli is Cordoba, although Córdoba is a little reckless, but fast, good awareness, and was not gotten rid of Mikoli, but has been following Mikoli, when Mikoli was about to force a shot, Córdoba stretched out his leg in time to block the ball.
In the remaining two minutes, Inter Milan still did not give up the attack, but the time was too short, their attack could not break through the Fiorentina defence, and they had to accept the result of being down 0l at half-time.
After referee DeSantis blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the Fiorentina stadium was once again filled with applause, and in these 45 minutes, Fiorentina had the upper hand for most of the time and scored a goal, which made the Fiorentina fans proud and proud, and they completely pinned their excitement and excitement on the applause.
The Fiorentina players were also pleased with their performance, leaving the pitch and returning to the dressing room.
Mondonico came to the dressing room early, he was very satisfied with the performance of the players, playing against a team like Inter Milan, it is not easy to lead, and the field is not down, which is even more commendable, he now hates to say all the praise words in the world to his players, but he still maintains a certain calm, he knows that the game is not over yet, and the last five minutes of Inter Milan's offensive told him that the three points are by no means so easy to get.
'The first half was a good one, playing what I asked for and deployed before the game, especially against Adriano, who didn't give him many chances to shoot. However, it should also be noted that Inter Milan's attack was still very threatening, especially in the last few minutes, and if they were a little lucky, they equalised.
There was a little bit of a problem with Martins' defense, he was fast, so don't give him too much space, and the other players also paid attention to the help defense, pay attention to the protection of the landing point, and get stuck in the position.
In the second half, Inter will definitely attack aggressively, our midfielder is very important, Obodo, De Ricari, the two of you must be a barrier in front of the central defenders, don't give Adriano and Martins the opportunity to face Ujfarussi and Dainelli directly, otherwise they will be dangerous.
Chen, you and Mikoli should also pay attention to counter-attacking, don't let their defenders easily play the ball, Maresca and Jorgensen, the two of you should intercept a little more area, and you have to be ruthless, especially a player like Adriano, you can't give him a chance to be 30 meters in front of the goal. ”
After explaining the defensive task, Mondonico continued: "In the second half, we have to focus on defense, but in addition to defense, we also have to seize the opportunity to counterattack, it is too difficult to keep a slight advantage of one goal, if you want to win Inter Milan, you need at least two goals, this task is handed over to Chen and Mikoli." ”
Dressing room for the away team.
Mancini slipped past the stands and is now finally able to talk to his players.
"You guys played badly in the first half, after you got the ball in front, who went to pick up the run, who went back to the defense, passed a few shots and shot from a distance, everyone wanted to score by themselves, didn't have a little patience, do you think Fiorentina is a fish belly? This is Frankie Stadium, they haven't lost in this stadium so far, we have to be patient against this team, pass the ball more, run more, be patient and pass a few more times, but we have to pass the gaps.
Adriano was lonely in the first half, he lacked someone to answer in the middle, and he also lacked someone to cover him, making it easy for the Fiorentina to defend him, after Martins came on, Adriano's chances were obviously much more, and in the second half, Martins continued to run more, shooting by himself when he had the opportunity, and creating opportunities for Adriano if he didn't have a chance. “
Mancini explained the tactical requirements for the second half in detail and then approached his assistant coach Orsi, and the two discussed together the changes that needed to be made in the second half.
Mancini had to sit in the audience in the second half and he had to set it up now.
Mancini and Orsi both think that Veron's absence has a great impact on Inter Milan, even more than Mancini's absence, when Veron is there, Fiorentina's midfield is a little slower, but orderly, and Veron also has a straight plug and a long shot, which can often break the deadlock at critical moments, but Veron is not there, Fiorentina basically controls the midfield, and Inter Milan has a long shot in addition to a personal breakthrough.
After some discussion between Orsey and Mancini, Mancini finally made a decision, replaced Recoba, replaced Emre, strengthened the organization of the midfield, whether he could score or not, and replaced the striker Cruise in about 70 minutes, Cruise scored very efficiently, and he may inject more vitality into the forward line.
In the fifteen minutes of the break, the managers of both sides made certain tactical changes, Fiorentina did not make substitutions, but the tactics tended to be more defensive counterattacks, Inter Milan replaced Emre, strengthened the organization and breakthrough ability of the midfield, and the formation completely became 4
Emre is one of Turkey's most talented midfielders and is known as the 'Maradona of the Bosphorus', and his presence has added to Inter's front line.
After the opening, Inter Milan's aggressive attack made the Fiorentina feel that danger was coming, and the opponent's mental outlook and tactical play changed a lot from the first half.
In the first minute of the second half, Zanetti broke through a defender on the left and was brought down by the chasing Chen Yu, Adriano took a free kick from 30 meters in front of the goal and was knocked out by Lupatelli, Emre chested the ball and shot from a distance, and the ball flew into the stands.
In the 48th minute, Lupatelli made a wonderful save, Adriano, who was becoming more and more active, received the ball over the top from the left, turned and kicked back to dodge Ujfarusi, and fired a right-footed diagonal shot from 10 meters from the goal on the left side, and goalkeeper Lupatelli in the near corner saved the ball off the line.
Emre whipped in a corner from the left and Stankovic fired a right-footed backheel shot from the spot, but it hit the side-netting.
Adriano had one of the best chances to score in the first minute, when he fired a left-footed volley from 18 yards out on the left side, the ball deflected off the defender and the ball flew past Lupatelli, but Chiellini cleared in front of goal to kick it out.
Inter Milan's series of attacks made Mondonico's heart tremble, he saw that Cordoba was staring at Micoli to death, Chen Yu was also alone, and more energy was spent on defense, so he made substitution adjustments, replacing Mikoli with Di Natale to increase the power of the attack and relieve the pressure on the backfield.
However, Di Natale's entry was not yet effective and Inter took advantage of the corner to equalise.
Emre took a corner kick from the right side, this corner kick was very ghostly, not not high to find Adriano and Materazzi, but a low flat ball to find Zanetti in front, Zanetti's header rubbed back, causing chaos in the Fiorentina penalty area, and at this time Adriano at the back post 3 meters from the goal to force Ujfarusi to push the ball into the bottom left corner.
After the goal, Adriano excitedly put his hand to his ear and rushed to the stands.
The 40,000 Fiorentina fans were dumbfounded, and only the Inter Milan fans were left cheering.
The Fiorentina commentator at the scene sighed: "A big family is a big team, it is not easy for Fiorentina to win this strong conversation, now Adriano and Chen Yu have scored one goal each, and the two teams are also tied, let's see which of them can have a better performance." ”
